These journalists captured life in Independence in the 1980s. Now they’ve returned for a second...

Dan White and Brent Schondelmeyer first embarked on a project to document life and history in Independence, Missouri, in 1985. Almost 40 years later, the two are back at work on new words and photographs of people living in the shadow of a president.
For the last couple months, photographer Dan White has been intently focused on a set of newly-printed archival images he keeps in his West Bottoms studio.

"This is probably my favorite," he says, looking at a photo of a girl and boy walking down a sidewalk.

White's photographs are large enough that he has to pick them up with both hands.
